We all know that we should decrease our sugar intake, but the assumption is that if you give up sugar, you are giving up desserts and treats – this is just not the case! Carolyn Hartz has shared one of her sugar-free dessert recipes here.

20ml coconut oil, melted
50g dried goji berries
Desiccated coconut for coating
